Arundhati (, IAST: Arundhatī) is the wife of the sage Vashistha, one of the seven sages ( Saptarshi) who are identified with the Ursa Major. She is identified with the morning star and also with the star Alcor which forms a double star with Mizar (identified as Vashista Maharshi) in Ursa Major. Arundhati, though the wife of one of the seven seers, is accorded the same status as the seven seers and is worshipped with them as such. In the Vedic and Puranic literature, she is regarded as the epitome of chastity, conjugal bliss and wifely devotion. In post-Puranic epic poems in Sanskrit and Hindi, she has been described as “chaste and revered” and with a character that is “unblemished, inspiring and worthy of imitation”. In the Hindu culture, there are several beliefs, practices and traditions centred on Arundhati including a ritual in the marriage ceremony after the Saptapadi, a fast, a belief about imminent death, and a maxim.
Arundhati is a 2009 Tamil- Telugu bilingual dark fantasy film directed by Kodi Ramakrishna and written by Chintapalli Ramana, starring Anushka Shetty, Sonu Sood, Arjan Bajwa and Sayaji Shinde.

The movie was also dubbed in hindi as " Arundhati - Ek Anokhi Kahani" by Sumeet Arts. It is remade in Bengali as Arundhati starring Koel Mallick.
